Logos Bible Software 4

An experiment in user-ranking of feature priorities for Logos 4.

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

      • Make an intelligent flash card program for vocab & Bible verse memorization.

        Once vocab lists are reintroduced, make it intelligently able to quiz the users, learning what words (Verses) the user knows and which ones he/she doesn't. Model it after supermemo.

          A future release of Logos (sorry, no date available) will have support for full-featured word and vocabulary lists.

          Flash card functionality is already underway. We anticipate having it on the desktop, supporting printing of paper flashcards to perforated paper stock, and plan (but have not yet started coding) mobile flashcard applications for drilling on your phone.

          We are using an established memorization method with an algorithm for smartly rotating and reviewing cards.

            • Save/update Layout without needing to remember its name / Name of layout in title bar

              Currently there is no way to know which layout is currently loaded. It would be good to have the name of the currently loaded layout displayed in the title bar.
              Also, the way L4 is updating layouts is not intuitive enough. You have to remember which layout you have opened before you can update it.
              It would be good to have an option in the layout menu to save/update the current layout without needing to remember its name.

              • Ability to filter the library by collections

                Right now the purpose of the collections is only to search within the resources of the collections.

                It would be helpful to have the collections also available in the library so that we can also find resources by collections.

                    An upcoming release of Logos will have new support for topics (and specifically the terms in the Logos Controlled Vocabulary) throughout the software.

                    We anticipate bringing back fuzzy search as well.

                    I’m sorry, but no date is available yet.

                  • Add prayer list on iphone / ipad / ipod

                    This would be really useful on the go, since that is when you tend to run into people asking you to pray for something. It could be a simple mobile prayer list that syncs with the desktop or something more complicated like the ability to sync any of your prayer lists with the ipod.

                        • Provide management of mytags

                          Please provide some way to manage mytags, preferably with ability to remove or rename 'specific' tags, and not simply 'delete all tags'. If resources have multiple tags, the only way to manage them is either with a lot of time and patience going through each one, or to create new mytags and leave lots of redundant ones lying around.

                            It would be nice if Logos (both PC and iPad/iPhone/iPod versions) could import/export notes to/from Evernote. If possible the format should be compatible with OliveTree's BibleReader so the notes can be portable between applications.

                            • Complete the set of Precept symbols

                              I use the Inductive Bible Study Method quite often - it is not the only method I use because it is not the only method :-). The highlighting feature in Logos 4 has a precept palate, but it only has part of the symbols available. Does anyone know if Logos is going to add the rest of the symbols? I spoke to the good people at Precept and they said they were all for it, but Logos had to actually do it.

                                It is a bit time consuming to browse the iphone library and pick out the resources for "offline reading" individually. I would appreciate the possibility to download all available resources; especially for the ipad coming up very soon....

                                    We are unlikely to be able to develop for Windows Phone 7 until Microsoft adds support for other programming languages. While we use and like C#, much of our core engine is in C++, and we don’t have the resources to port it all for this platform.

                                  • A Visual Bookshelf feature like Mark Barnes's cool web-based one, only even better!

                                    See this thread http://community.logos.com/forums/t/15170.aspx
                                    And take into account some of the suggestions for improvements posted later on the thread, such as the ability to drag to reorder books, integrate flags for reading plans that are behind, etc.

                                    • Stem/Cognate Search

                                      I would like the ability to search for the cognates of a Hebrew tri-consonantal root or a Greek stem. Currently, one must manually look up all the cognates of a word and run multiple searches or construct a search with a wildcard.

                                      See http://community.logos.com/forums/t/16050.aspx for more discussion and details.

                                      • Organize files popup by file type, alphabet and recently used

                                        The file tab provides a list of all user-generated file types in the order of most recently used to last used. As the number of files increases this becomes more and more awkward. Please arrange it so that the last 3 files used displays at the top. Below that, based on a user selected file type, display the files in alphabetical order.

                                        • PDF, docx files

                                          Over the years in seminary, I have downloaded and collected many pdf and docx files. I would like to see Logos having the ability to search these files, make cross-reference, and make notes. If this cannot be done, another alternative is that Logos provides an internal program that would convert these files to native logos format.

                                            Personal Book Builder can convert docx files to Logos books. We do not plan to implement PDF import/conversion.

                                            Update: We still do not plan to implement PDF import, but I’m reopening this for user feedback, as requested.

                                            I think logos should start a public domain group. I was looking on finding the best way to get public domain books. I came across a website that charges $100.00 membership fee and you can download as many public domain books as you want. These books come in a variety of formats, so you can put them into the pbb.

                                            I would be really cool if logos started a similar group. With enough members, the membership fee can fund the production of these public domain books. This would also bring in the "low end" customers seeing as they can get… more
